More Info

This is a pretty simple recipe, but I went a little overboard with it and made my own cookie dough for this.  It came out pretty rich, but it was fantastic.  The women at my mother's work went nuts over it and requested more!  Look for the cookie dough recipe this coming Wednesday (it'll be a special post, just for you all...but only expect one picture, of the ingredients...when I made it, I wasn't think too much about taking pictures, unfortunately).
